Born in 1962. As a photographer, high school teacher and author, he grapples with photography from artistic and theoretical perspectives. His large, monographic works on Germany, New York, Moscow and Istanbul expand the limits of classic, reportage photography. They reflect an inimitable imagery, that thrives above all on contrasting cuts and image sequences. Herzau’s work has received, among others, the European Press Award. He has been a member of the laif photo agency since 1999, and lives in Hamburg.
